Talking to Your Doctor

Your doctor can be a key resource as you're trying to quit smoking. He or she can talk to you about medications to help you quit and put you in contact with local resources. Healthcare providers can help with information and support you need to live smokefree. They may help you craft your own quit plan, offer methods to prevent slipups, or walk through the pros and cons of nixing nicotine. Doctors or healthcare providers often stick with you throughout your quit journey by scheduling follow up visits or phone calls. Remember, healthcare professionals are not there to judge—they're there to help you in any way you need to achieve a smokefree life.

#QuitBetterTogether

On November 30, 2016, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development announced that all public housing agencies must implement smokefree policies throughout all residential units and common areas by July 31, 2018. The American Lung Association, with support from the Anthem Foundation, will work closely with public housing agencies and non-profit partners in select communities to provide free or low-cost quit smoking resources for public housing residents.
